Writing in the social sciences requires both clear reporting and meaningful analysis.
In this one-hour session for first-year students, we introduce strategies for clear and critical communication:
- summarizing research (e.g. identifying relevant details, using precise language and appropriate citations)
- explaining value of research (e.g. connections between studies, implications of findings, application to practice)
- organizing ideas and paragraphs to present a clear and focused message

Do you know the 5-paragraph essay? Consider it your starting point, not your end goal for your first university essay!
In this one-hour workshop, learn how you can write a focused and coherent essay that demonstrates your critical thinking about an issue or question. We will practice writing thesis statements, blocking supporting ideas, using effective transitions, and editing for argument and organization.
